The station is ho-ho-hoping listeners happy to hear festive hits will donate to the worthy cause and help them raise €200,000 to buy new incubators and ventilators for the hospital to help 1,000 children.

Another Twitter user divulged the festive divilment he got up to in a rental car saying: ‘Before I got out I programmed all the radio channels to play Christmas FM.’

Others got reminiscent listening to the older songs being broadcast by the festive station tweeting: ‘#ShakinStevens I left secondary school 8 years ago, but every year when I hear this song I’m right back to doing the school Christmas show all over again.’
